"Let's make a bet, shall we?" It all started with a bet. Top of his class, known to be able to wield multiple weapons proficiently and the greatest combatant around his peers, Jackson Clover. Everyone thought he would climb the tower, becoming rich and famous and becoming a top ranker... but that didn't happen. Why? Well, the answer was simple: he wasn’t chosen. As to why? Well, he left with no answer; while his friends went to the tower, he simply lived his life, but even that was difficult for him. Having been thrown by a heavy responsibility, Jack thought he would carry this burden with his older brother, but even he ran away into the tower. Jack couldn’t blame him, and so he continued to carry it alone. He worked long hours and took multiple part-time jobs in the hope that everything would work out. But instead, nothing goes right for him. He was simply unlucky. Dumb and unlucky, he ends up addicted to gambling and smoking. Becoming a chain-smoking gambler. When he wins, he uses that money to buy cigarettes and waste it even more in gambling. And when he lost, he would starve himself to pay for the bills and provide for his family. Jack is a fool, and one day he becomes an even bigger fool as he makes an outrageous bet that will change everything.

"Sorry, Mr. Robert, the prisoner refuses to meet with you." Two months later. "Sorry, Mr. Robert the prisoner still refuses to meet with you." Six months later "Sorry, Mr. Robert, the prisoner is firm and still refuses to meet with you." One year later. "Mr. Robert, sorry, we asked, and she refuses to meet with you, persistently." Two years later. "Mr. Robert, she doesn't want to see you." The female guard in uniform politely spoke to the man in front of her. Upon hearing this, the man paused and then said to the female guard. "You tell her for me that I will marry her when she comes out." Anna doesn't believe that a man who has been in love for ten years will betray her. In the adjournment room, Anna sat sluggishly on the chair. Two days in court left her exhausted. "Robert, do you really want to push me to hell?" "Your father pushed my mother into the sea, and I'll make his daughter's life worse than death. It s fair, right?" Anna eyes were flled with tears, but she stubbornly raised her head and held it back. When she looked at Robert again, she took on a pleading look and said, "For the sake of the past ten years we have been together, would you drop your case?" Robert stood up, looking at her from a high position, coldly snorted. "Heh, I have been waiting this day for ten years. How could | drop it?" Looking at her miserable appearance, Robert heart seemed to have cracked a ittle. He frowned, suppressing that feeling, and cruelly said: "But you still have some time left. Next week is my engagement party with Lily. This is the invitation, and you are welcome to attend." He dumped the invitation on Scarlet's body with contempt, and walked away without looking back. Anna looked at the white invitation letter, as if the last ounce of her strength had been taken away. She fell into a chair, and could not even breathe. When she and Robert were together, he never said he wanted to marry her. Now he was getting married, and she was going to jail. Anna hung her head, covered her face with both hands, and let the tears fall all over her cheeks. When the trial started again, Anna stood quietly at the defendant's table and listened to the judge's statement. " Defendant!" Anna came back to her senses, and instead of looking at the judge, she looked at Robert. Suddenly, she smiled, quiet and well- behaved, just like the first time when they met and she called him "honey' '. Robert.' heart trembled by her gaze as if something was flowing away. "Robert., my father is dead, and he had it coming, and I also have to go to jail." "From now on, we are even! The past ten years, I will pretend I never met you.... Tears broke out from Anna eyes; she turned her head to the judge and said, "I plead guilty!"

Where am I? What is this place?" Lucien said, bewildered at the unfamiliar surroundings. He remembered he was lying on his bed, now he was also lying on a bed, but the mat was made of unknown leaves, not like the foam on his bed. "Ding! Congratulations!" "The Many Children Many Blessing System is successfully integrated." Hearing the voice in his mind, he was shocked! He couldn't believe it. After all, the system was the golden finger of the transmigrators, their key to success in a new world. "Wait, wait. Transmigrator?" he said, looking around him. He looked at his hand, his fingers slender and strong, a far cry from the weak, trembling hands he had on Earth. He tried to stand up, and although this body was still weak, he felt that it was much stronger. "Does that mean I was transmigrated?" He looked around, searching for a mirror, but he found nothing. But he found a mug made of wood, full of water, on a small table made of bamboo beside him. He looked at the mug, his eyes widened in surprise. He didn't recognize the one in the reflection on the water, but he knew that it was him. The reflection on the mug has blonde hair,clear brown eyes and a handsome face.

Accidentally becoming a terrorist wasn't on my college bucket list, but here we are. One anonymous post, a bit of dry ice, and a suspiciously trusting browser later, I'm the government's newest "criminal mastermind." Spoiler: I'm just a broke student who failed 11th grade.

It's not easy juggling tuition, intrusive thoughts, and a reputation I didn't mean to build-but hey, at least I'm trending! If you've ever thought "This can't get worse" and life said "Hold my coffee,"welcome to my world.

The words that make readers cry—what they did to the writer. They tore at the soul, clawed their way through the heart, and demanded to be bled onto the page. This story is born not of ink but of wounds, of the fractures between black and white, snow and fire, love and hatred. In these pages, contradiction reigns. A love so fierce it ignites wars within, a hatred so tender it whispers of longing. The voices are many, yet they share one heart—a battleground where passion and betrayal, beauty and cruelty, fight for dominance. Here, the fragile walls of a mind crumble as it struggles to reconcile with the angel who became the war, with the devil who promised salvation. It’s a story of falling, of building, of breaking, and of daring to love even when it destroys. Turn the page and enter the chaos, if you dare.
